Fab Ad: Iceberg Fall '08

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:00:08 -0700

I thought it couldn't get any hotter with Mischa's Summer '08 ad, but I was wrong. Striking a svelte pose is Iceberg's newest queen: Amber Valletta.

In the Fall '08 campaign, Valletta takes on a slick attitude to go with Iceberg's angular and voluminous cut designs. I like how her pale face and blond hair contrast against her dark and stormy eyes. She looks possessed. Possessed by high fashion.

Trend Alert: Kris Kross

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:00:22 -0700

OK no, the adolescent backward pant wearing hip hip group circa 1992 is not back in action. But the kris kross effect we are seeing on dresses and tops is very much in fashion. Amy Adams is aplomb in Narciso Rodriguez with sleek hair and minimal accessories. I'm guessing the return of the original banded dress master Herve Leger had something to do with this . . .

Do You Prefer Mischa Wholesome . . . Or Sexy?

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Mischa Barton has so many personalities these days. She's a real-life bad girl, recently getting slapped with a DUI; then a good girl taking it easy at the Sundance Film Festival with her mom. Now she's taken her double life to her recent Spring '08 ads. In the Keds Spring ads, she's a goody-goody actress wearing airy dresses and the latest Keds footwear. For Iceberg's Spring ads, she exudes a raw sex appeal making faces that should remain behind closed doors. Two opposite looks, but which Mischa do you prefer - wholesome or sexy?

Fab Ad: Iceberg Spring/Summer '08

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

It's Mischa Barton and Iceberg round two. But unlike the Fall/Winter '07 campaign featuring the actress, these Spring/Summer '08 shots are dangerously hot. In fact, they almost make me forget Mischa's latest fashion faux pas. The poses are high fashion, her makeup fierce, and the wardrobe droolworthy. Another round of fierce campaigns and Mischa could be well on her way back to fashion stardom. Do you agree?

The Monsters of Paris Fashion Week

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Paris Fashion Week is no stranger to the avant-garde. In the fashion capital, the crazier, the better. But some designers take the concept of fashion-forward to a whole new level. Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Manish Arora (who often provides costumes for Katy Perry), and Viktor & Rolf are some of the orchestrators who liven up the Parisian catwalks. Face paint, fuzzy helmets, and antlers (left) are just the tip of the iceberg. Let the kookiness begin.
